One of my ears are closed even if I try to open it gets closed. How can it be cured? Yawning helps to open ears but still in my case it doesn't help.

Hello lybrate-user did you recently have cold. During attack of cold the ears get blocked due to spread of infection via a tube into the ears. This tube usually opens during yawning that's when you feel opening in ears. If still you feel blocked you can do steam inhalation, do chew carrots on the side of block. Certain nasal drops decongestants help. If still the same do consult. Take care.
